A Genius Hack for Slicing Cherry Tomatoes

Slicing cherry tomatoes individually can be kind of time-consuming. While we’re never opposed to just eating them whole, sometimes you’ve got to slice into them.
Here’s a quick tip for halving handfuls of cherry tomatoes at a time, using a few things you probably have lying around your kitchen.

If you’ve got any other tips or tricks for dealing with tomatoes, share them with us in the comments!

First, you need two lids from plastic containers. Set one on your counter, right side-up, and fill it with a single layer of tomatoes. Place the other on top, upside-down.

Hold the top lid to keep everything in place, and carefully slice through the tomatoes with a serrated knife.

I think it would take me longer to find 2 lids that would work good and then arrange them in there so the cuts would be even. I like them cut pretty evenly so this would probably be a challenge for me! I’ll just slice them. It takes like 10 seconds!
